Manitoba will no longer be contact tracing for COVID-19 in childcare facilities. Dr. Brent Roussin, the Chief Public Health Officer of Manitoba says single case and contact management is not effective because the Omicron variant is so infectious and the incubation period is too short.
Manitoba made a similar move in schools a few weeks ago. Children and staff exposed to a case will be allowed to continue to attend as long as they have no symptoms.
